I guess I see moral virtue in both, and that's okay. You're the one who's ranking these in a qualitative manor, and thats okay too.
I'm not ranking them, I'm distinguishing between them. I'm pretty surprised you don't see a categorical difference between paying off your credit card at the end of the month and donating to charity, and see both as actions motivated by morality. I think that's a pretty counterintuitive position, for most people.
